On January 9, the EU Commission issued a notice on the potential implications
of Brexit for transfers of personal data to the United Kingdom.
From the date of Brexit, the United Kingdom will become a
"third country," and the adequacy of its protections for
personal data will need to be assessed by the EU Commission.
However, the notice states that even if an adequacy decision is not
granted, data flows need not be unnecessarily interrupted, as other
options (such as model clauses, binding corporate rules, and
exceptions such as contractual necessity) will remain
available.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
